A Linenfold Favrile glass double student lamp from Tiffany Studio (1878-1933) circa 1910s. This rare model features two matching green colored linenfold glass shades (approximately 9.5" in diameter) supported by rubbed bronze lamp frame and base. The shade each feature twelve glass panels bordered by smaller and thicker upper and lower glass trim panels. There is a loop on top of the frame which was used to move the lamp easily. The arm is free to swing, and the height can also be adjusted. Both shades are marked "TIFFANY STUDIOS PAT. APPL'D FOR". The base is marked "TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK 316". Sockets and wires all appear original and function well. The wire and switch mechanism appear to be original, and the switch takes three turns to switch on the lights, not sure if that was intended.
From 1913 to 1914, the independent designer Henry O. Schmidt (1860–1943) patented a new type of mold-cast glass lampshade panels for Tiffany Studios to imitate delicately pleated silk. Under the directorship of Leslie Hayden Nash, Tiffany Studios offered an expanded range of lampshades in this new Favrile Fabrique style including the double student lamp model. The linenfold lamps were retailed at one of the highest prices among Tiffany favrile lamps at the time of their production.
